Can anybody give me some info on what this bottle stop might have been used for and if it is worth anything? It is glass wrapped in some hand-cut decorative silver. It has a "22" etched in the bottom. The actual bottle opening could not have been wider than a dime. I know it is at least 200 years old. I found it on a unique piece of property that was once owned by a founding father and Dec. of Independece signee. It was found within in the same 3000 square foot plot with a half dozen musket balls and a bunch of George II pennies and one half penny. (All of which are in terrible shape).
Perhaps a french perfume bottle top? I would greatly appreciate any insight.
